Troubleshooting
To change video quality in a slide:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1
Double-click the slide containing the colors you want to correct.
2
3 From the Slide menu, select Video Quality and one of the video options:
Standard
The default format for slides. Standard is the most efficient choice for the majority of screenshots
because it uses 256 optimized colors. Standard slides also compress well, which results in smaller file sizes.
Optimized
This option gives you the highest JPEG quality possible.
JPEG
This option is best used when the slide contains a photograph. You can change the quality and compression ratio
for JPEG images on the Project Preferences dialog box.
High Quality
Compared to the Standard format of 256 colors, this format uses 16 million colors for the slides.
This option should only be used if the Standard and Optimized options do not offer the correct color depth. The
file size increases dramatically using this option.
Note: Selecting the JPEG or High Quality format may increase the file size and the time it takes to download your
project. You should only use a format other than Standard when necessary and appropriate.
